“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”

And I truly believe those words.

Something that saddens me deeply is the mistreatment of animals.

There is so much that we can do, as humans, to make the world a better place for the other creatures who live here.

One of my favourite advertisements on television as a child was the ad where a menagerie of animals walk across the television screen, with a timid wombat biding his time to scamper across before the RSPCA logo and details flashes onto the screen.

The RSPCA is just one organisation that does what they can to care for the creatures who aren’t being cared for.

What a lovely world it would be if all cats and dogs were fed and goats had someone to pet them.
